The UK sci-fi series "Utopia" season 1 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow on Netflix. It's an outstanding series and really didn't need a remake by HBO even with David Fincher. The HBO version is now in trouble.

Just checked and found that Utopia is not available on Netflix, at least not yet.

It was on a lot of the lists posted online. The first I looked at was out of the UK and for UK Netflix but I also found it on US lists. Sometimes they release later in the day. This often has been the case with their "we've just added a title you might like" emails I get because the title wasn't there when I checked earlier in the day. They've got some splainin' to do if it doesn't show up and not just to me a lot of Utopia fans mentioned it was to arrive at Netflix today.

I watched "The Wrecking Crew" last night which is a documentary I've been waiting to see arrive on Netflix. Superb documentary about the group of studio musicians who played on many of the music hits out of Hollywood in the 60s and 70s. I was a studio musician myself so it was of particular interest.

Thanks for that .. I've been waiting for it as well .. it's probably been mentioned, but "Muscle Shoals", "The Last Waltz" and "History of the Eagles" are quite good as well ..

Oddball: Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

I have the BD. The no region BD (since two were released) is the two disc one.

As of 4:15 PM CDT the Netflix search function still didn't turn Utopia up. Instead, it listed six titles under the heading, "Titles related to Utopia." Don't know why Netflix hasn't added it but its clear they haven't done it yet.

moreflicks.com says that it's available in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands regions.

EDIT: Changing my region reveals that it does not seem to be available in either the UK or Ireland regions, though it is available in the others (season 1 only).

Doing a search I noted that Utopia season 1 was on Netflix UK last year. Someone with a dog in this fight ought to contact Netflix support and ask what's up? I have the BD so wouldn't be watching it on Netflix. After all, every article I read online said that Utopia would be available August 1st.

Maybe the US rights holder has blocked it pending on what happens with the now in limbo Fincher/HBO project.

Just finished Bloodline and thought it was terrific. A bit of a slow start but after about the third episode it really got going. The whole cast was very good but Ben Mendelsohn in particular was outstanding, Emmy-winning performance in my opinion. Highly recommended.

Agreed - I felt that Mendolsohn's performance was the highlight of the series. Here's a look at his current & upcoming performances:

Somewhat doubtful as rights would have been secured in time for Netflix to issue the press releases on August titles. The cast for the HBO version has been released from their contracts.

I just played "Stump Netflix Support" by inquiring what happened to the Utopia release. After giving their research team a search term to find the numerous lists online they told me those were "unofficial" and the only real release lists are on their Twitter and Facebook accounts. But they well let me know if it is going to be released. I also told them that all the other titles listed for August 1st were available yesterday and he checked and confirmed it.
